"Young Master, this boy has immense power within him. He is very dangerous."
"Do you need me to..."
Uncle Wu bowed slightly and made a throat-slitting gesture.
That was right—Jiang Junyi had been observing from the other side!
The news had reached Jiang Junyi as early as when Wang Hao began preparing for battle.
He had ordered Uncle Wu to buy the building beneath their feet overnight, all so he could observe Lin Xiu.
Jiang Junyi lowered his binoculars and raised a hand to stop Uncle Wu. "No. If you go, you'll only bring even greater trouble."
His face remained calm, but a trace of chill glimmered in his eyes.
Jiang Junyi knew it would be useless. It was also the classic "you beat the young one, then the old one comes" plot. It would only let a Son of Destiny harvest more rewards and help him keep growing.
This had only been a preliminary test, but they had gained quite a bit of information.
The Sons of Destiny acknowledged by the system were undoubtedly incredibly hard to kill... How was he supposed to deal with that?
Jiang Junyi lowered his head slightly, pondering the question.
Uncle Wu watched his young master from the side, a trace of gratification in his eyes. The young master now really resembled Jiang Wudao...
After sighing with emotion, Uncle Wu took out a little notebook and quickly wrote—
Tonight, the young master is growing again and again and again. Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, he resembles a king in the night.
Then, almost imperceptibly, he took out his phone and silently snapped a photo of Jiang Junyi standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, faint moonlight spilling over him.
He selected the group chat—White Court Family.
Tap. Send.
Yu Tongtianxia (Zhao Ningyu): Wow~ My precious son is so handsome! (Drool) (Drool)
You Daoshi (Jiang Wudao): As expected of my son! (Thumbs up) (Thumbs up)
Old Wang: Heh, Young Master is looking at my boy, right? Sorry for showing off!
Old Liang: What the hell are you showing off for?! My girl would definitely perform better than your son if she went over.
Old Wang: Hehe, my son is the vanguard! (Tongue out)
Old Liang: (Pounding) (Pounding)
Aunt Zhao: The little young master is getting more and more stylish. (Sunglasses) (Sunglasses)
Uncle Wu glanced at his phone and smiled.
Meanwhile, Jiang Junyi had no idea that he actually had a cheering squad!
At that moment, he was brainstorming:
If things followed the development of a webnovel, a Son of Destiny would obtain all kinds of opportunities, while the existence of the female leads would also be part of his growth.
Take this Lin Xiu, for example. Su Corporation was his foundation.
A talented heiress, and a useless son.
It was as though heaven intended to hand this entire force over to Lin Xiu.
So he had to destroy Lin Xiu's fortune and make it difficult for him to escape death after death.
He had to cripple Su Corporation and shake his Dao Heart. Only then could the great plan succeed!
Jiang Junyi's eyes lit up. The chaotic thoughts in his mind finally came together.
He also gained some plans for the road ahead.
But... if Black Palace was taking action, that meant Wan Qingyun already knew about this.
Jiang Junyi sighed. He still hadn't managed to hide it from her. Hopefully, Qingyun's level of corruption wasn't too high.
He knew Wan Qingyun's corruption was inevitable.
The power of the world's correction would cause all kinds of events to make her fall into darkness and grow.
"Let's go, Uncle Wu. It's time to rest," Jiang Junyi called.
"Yes."
The moon set and the sun rose. A new day began.
Jiang Junyi opened his eyes full of energy, quickly washed up, and called Uncle Wu to head to the Wan Family.
Uncle Wu also knew that his young master was currently in love, so he had prepared everything early.
Over here.
Wan Qingyun wore a frosty expression as she listened to Mo Jie's report on last night's operation.
"My lord, last night's decapitation operation failed."
"A Lesser Grandmaster was protecting Su Ling, and not an ordinary Lesser Grandmaster at that. He also possessed a Spiritual Artifact for protection."
"Based on the nature of his True Qi, our preliminary conclusion is—the Dragon King Hall!"
Wan Qingyun's delicate brows furrowed. "Dragon King Hall?"
"Yes. It is a secretive and powerful sect."
"Every Dragon King is absurdly powerful, and they always manage to escape certain death through all kinds of methods before becoming even stronger."
"Most importantly, I suspect that the Dragon King Hall is connected to the destruction of Black Palace and the downfall of the Wan Family."
Wan Qingyun abruptly raised her head at Mo Jie's words. Though her eyes were blind, Mo Jie still felt as if needles were pricking his back. "Are you certain?"
"Eighty percent."
"Tap. Tap. Tap." Wan Qingyun drummed her fingers against the table as an invisible pressure rose around her.
Compared to the shy irritation she showed before Jiang Junyi, she now carried the initial bearing of a ruler over a great power.
After all, the condensed aura surrounding her was no pretense.
"Accelerate recruitment. I need to know Lin Xiu's every move!"
"Bring me the information on Su Corporation."
Wan Qingyun quickly issued two orders. The core of them was to clarify the relationship between the two and see whether she could seize an opportunity from it.
"Yes."
Mo Jie respectfully handed over a thick file. Wan Qingyun accepted it and began reading through it, while Mo Jie stood quietly at the side, not daring to disturb her.
At that moment, he took out a little notebook and quickly wrote—
The young lord is full of drive today as well and is growing quickly, though last night's failed plan was somewhat embarrassing.
Then Mo Jie pulled out his phone and silently took a beautiful photo of Wan Qingyun in a black dress, quietly reading through documents at her desk.
He selected the group chat—Black Palace Family.
Tap. Send.
Leo: Wow, wow, wow! Lord of Destiny is so beautiful! (Lust) (Lust)
Virgo: I have failed Lord of Destiny's beauty and failed my lord's expectations. Let me die! (Shattered)
Majestic Dragon (Wang Hao): I'll be the vanguard!
Virgo: Can't you use a different line?!
Majestic Dragon: The battle isn't over yet! Let's go, let's go!
A smile curved beneath Mo Jie's mask. The awakening of the Fate Lord had filled the once lifeless Black Palace with vitality. Everything would head in a better direction.
At that moment, Wan Qingyun's ears twitched slightly, as though she had heard something.
"Mo Jie, go back first. Do as I instructed. We need to strengthen our manpower," Wan Qingyun ordered, raising her head.
"Tch." Mo Jie clicked his tongue softly.
He knew that brat had come again!
Wan Qingyun:?
"Mo Jie, did you click your tongue just now?"
"Absolutely not, Lord of Destiny."
Hearing Mo Jie's sincere response, Wan Qingyun assumed she had misheard.
"Then I must have heard wrong. Go back first."
"Yes."
After Mo Jie vanished from the room, Wan Qingyun set down the document in her hands.
For some reason, her heart began to leap with anticipation.
"Qingyun, baby~ Little Qingyun~"
Jiang Junyi's voice drifted into Wan Qingyun's ears from nearby.
Those two forms of address alone made her feel slightly embarrassed and annoyed. Why was this man so shameless?!
She hurriedly pretended to be deeply engrossed in her reading.
Bang!
Jiang Junyi forcefully pushed open the study door, accompanied by his shameless calls. "We haven't seen each other all night. Did you miss me, little Qingyun~?"
Wan Qingyun calmly set down the document. "No. Not really."
Jiang Junyi rubbed his chin and slowly approached Wan Qingyun, swaying from side to side.
Yet Wan Qingyun could hear her own heartbeat quickening.
Jiang Junyi suddenly pressed close to her ear, resting his chin against her fair shoulder and neck as he blew softly. "Is that so? But I noticed that your ears are a little red."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm... You bastard!"
